Gasol is over the hill. Try somebody else.

Faried may run through a wall, but that doesn’t mean he is smart enough to defend the pick and roll or the perimeter. Dude struggles with that.

With the lineup analysis in the last post. . . . Why isn’t Chandler a member of all end of game 5′s on O and D? Dude can shoot, defend and drive past slower 4′s. If we’re going small put him and Gallo in at the same time with K2 or Faired and let the other team figure out who to cover.

I really don’t think we should trade him. Sports Guy said Iggy and Mozzy for Gasol? I’d do that deal. Throw in Brewer or Randolph too. . . let Gallo, Chandler, Hamilton, Frenchy etc. . . figure out the swing positions.

Nope, Jeremy’s right, that’s gotta be on Faried. I don’t know why we didn’t cheat out more and give the dunk.

One thing we need to remember is the officiating was so awful at the end of this game that our guys were a little shell shocked, . . not sure what to expect. Faried may have been hesitant to do much for fear of a phantom call. But, still that’s a bad mistake, even in his 2nd year, he knows who KD is and who ibaka is.

Perhaps the single best piece of analytical writing I’ve seen on this site. Let me join the chorus in saying that I appreciate all of the content this site produces.

That’s the brilliance of Karl. Durant was “where’s the defense?” mid jumpshot, which threw Durant off and led to an off-target shot.

Great analysis Jeremy!!

I can almost guarantee the defense was the fault of the coaches not Faried.. He is a gamer that would run thru a wall for a win…. Ironic how we decided not to switch in this situation… Does this suprise you? I mean how many freakin time-outs do we lose game after game after game…. KARL = NO DEFENSE
